Akira Is Your Dystopian Blu-ray Deal of the Day

Let’s go back in time, to a Britain that knew nothing of the anime genre. All we had was The Flumps, Mr Benn and a whiff of the future courtesy of Battle Of The Planets. Then along came Akira and everything changed overnight.

Set in an imagined Tokyo in 2019, in the wake of World War III, the film tells the story of two high school drop-outs who stumble on a secret government project to develop new weapons -- telekinetic humans. That’s all we’re telling you because it gets a bit confusing after that. Some have called it ‘the definitive anime masterpiece’ while others referred to it as “a stunning visual experience and a disturbing vision of the future”. Today, you can call it ‘that Blu-ray that I just ordered off of the internet for only £5.00.” TRUTH BOMB!
